Abstract:

Anesthetic management of patients with large antrochoanal polyps needs anticipation and adequate preparation for the associated problems. Presenting as nasal polyps, these may mislead and cause unexpected problems in ventilation as well as intubation. We present a case of a large antrochoanal polyp leading to bilateral nasal obstruction undergoing general anesthesia for polypectomy. A brief review of literature is included.
